There’s talk of the federal goobermint funding California with $Billions in “rebuilding aid”.
All of a sudden the NC, GA and FL Hurricane victims are not part of the discussion?

Those states all got Billions.

Did you ask them what policies they would change to avoid future calamities?

For a generational storm?

They’re over 100 days in misery.

With the new contract approved, the budget for the fire department in Fiscal Year 2024 - 2025 increased from $819.6 million to $895.6 million. When compared to the previous year’s budget (Fiscal Year 2023 - 2024), this current year’s fire department budget in total is larger by $58.4 million. According to a document from the city administrative officer, the increase in this year’s budget was approved specifically to meet salary and benefit increases included in the new union contract.

So going forward, it looks like firefighters have a new contract. How exactly does that help the budget shortfalls and infrastructure failures leading up to the unprecedented fires?

Did they? You sure?

“Firefighters have a new contract”. That’s fantastic, but the hydrants are dry. So will their job descriptions be changed to “Fire watchers”?

Then why was the fire chief complaining loudly about budget cuts? Was she just making it up?

I don’t know.

because there were cuts

Exactly. You get what i am saying right?

Presidents come and go…it’s responsibility of state government.

Just for record I’m not blaming biden…even thou it was stupid to mention his great grand baby.

I agree with you wholeheartedly

Blame the state government though the 0 percent contained is a bit silly probably but otherwise the whole thing is on the mayor the governor and California legislature.

And yet the morons who live in CA will continue voting inept democrats into power.

Ah yes Trump so powerful that he can literally snap his fingers and create historic wildfires.

Hiring managers know the spectrum for their crafts.

Why bring “merit” into a discussion about hiring?

I honestly do not understand your question.

Merit has nothing to do with hiring. Merit has to do with retention.

I disagree. I see merit as “most deserving for reward or opportunity”

You can certainly have the most deserving candidate for hire.

this makes no sense.

merit is something that comes up during raises (“merit program”), not during hiring….

forgive me if i dont buy that you actually are involved in hiring at any tech company

No I can tell neither of you have any experience hiring in Tech

You are talking about an internal merit program.

There is also “merit based hiring”… here a program I’ve used before

SKILLS-BASED VS. MERIT-BASED HIRING – TESTGORILLA

I hear Biden is pledging to rebuild LA.

He is promising something that is beyond his authority (again).

He will not even be around more than another week or so.

@SpadeMarlowe

He is sooooo narcisistic he made it ALL about HIM yesterday.

Yeah. He got up there and bragged how hunter’s house survived.

Except it didn’t. AND it wasn’t his house AND he was 300k arrears in rent AND the judge told him daddy’s note (pardon) doesn’t get him out of paying.

So hunters rented house burned down and now everyone who lived within a mile of his house has smoked crack.

All those looters were probably checking every free standing toilet in the ashes for Hunter’s stash hiden in the tank.

incorrect. i’ve been hiring in tech for years

we just dont jumble terms like “merit” and “deserving” to hire for “diversity” sake as you do. we need people effective at their jobs

Cal’s elected dems are a bunch of useless clowns…

No, you clearly haven’t.

Merit based hiring is a thing…esp in tech… you just didn’t know it was.

[thinkingman]

@PurpnGold

No, you clearly haven’t.

we clearly haven’t ever hired as stupidly as you do, no.

Look. You can make numbers say what you want them to say. If costs go up 10% and your income goes up 3%, you got more, but you also got less. Right in the headline of the link tnt keeps posting, it says cuts. Libs who are saying today, “Hey, they got more…” will be bitching when DOGE causes their favorite line item to grow less than they wanted.

I’m thinking no. Nor for a generational fire tragedy.
